Euron hasn't really done much in the books yet, though, except capture some lovely islands and become king, and that was a given since most of the Ironborn are bunch of backwards fucks who couldn't stand the thought of a woman leading them, not to mention the cool magic horn he had. I mean, the poor guy has to send his brother to go and get Dany for him. Can you imagine teleporting finger-up-the-bum show Euron sending someone else to fetch a woman he wants to bang?

Book Euron does definitely give off the sense of being dreadfully and menacingly powerful, though.

I think it's supposed to be a fake out and he's off to ferry over the Golden Company or set up some other season 8 thing.

Ok I can see it now...

Cersei ignores the threat of the white walkers to grab the Golden Company and claim Westeros for herself. Dany, Jon and Co just don't have the numbers to fight the threat from both sides and are killed.

Bran sees this and goes back to do all that Bran the builder / night king stuff as he knows it's the only way to defeat Cersei.

White walkers are the good guys. I think I first wished they would kill everyone around season 4, will be a great ending.

Book Euron seems like a genuinely creepy and dangerous guy, even though most of his exploits have been off-page. Show Euron is more like The Joker, laughing and having fun doing evil deeds. (well, I guess you can argue these are both sides of The Joker, one of them anyway)

Sam is a brother of the Night's Watch - him no longer having a claim on Horn Hill is very well documented through his vows, even though he is tapping that sweet Gilly rear end.

Except that the Night's Watch will be useless by series-end since the Wall is coming down.

Half-season ends with confirmed, on-screen incest and an undead dragon melting the Wall, I don't know what else you want in a TV series these days.

Dude there's been on-screen incest from 54 minutes into the PILOT.

Targs are designed for superior incest sex.

Dany and Jon share not quite 25% of their DNA so they're not even very good at this.

Tinfoil Papercut posted:

In case anyone is wondering:

Dany and Jon are aunt/nephew - which isn't too bad in this world as far as incest goes. HOWEVER, Dany and Rhaegar were much more closely related than your average siblings.

Dany and Rhaegar's mother and father were both full siblings. Their grandfather and grandmother were ALSO full siblings. Meaning that Dany and Rhaegar were 87.5% relation compared to typical siblings of 50%.

This means that Jon and Dany are ~44% relation, closer to siblings than regular aunt / nephew at 25%.

So, watching how Cersei deals with Ellaria and Tyene, and I just can't ignore that the chains on both of them were obviously long enough for them to reach up and take the gags out of their mouths. Really ruins the scene, especially when the showed Yara having her arms chained to her sides not two scenes prior.

Their arms are chained to the wall I thought. So they couldn't reach.

Their arms are chained to the wall with enough slack to let them stand 3 feet away from the wall. All they have to do is back up and they can reach their mouths.
